NASA beams self-portraits from Mars via the Curiosity Rover!

They took several ultra-clear pictures while testing a powerful camera on the tip of its' robotic arm.

The photos showed detailed views of the rover's underbelly and wheels, along with a snapshot of its' robotic head that holds the camera.

They even got a picture of a 1909 Lincoln penny -- used to calibrate part of the rover, though the pictures aren't available right now.
